Description Shlomi Fish 2012-02-18 19:33:13 CET

Description of problem:

When dragging and dropping an image from Firefox to the KDE desktop and setting it as wallpaper (which requires unlocking the widgets and also setting sytemsettings -> "Workspace Behavior" -> "Virtual Desktops" -> "Different widgets  for each desktop") from an http:// address (such as the image in the URL - http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/images/Self/shlomif-st-bernard.jpg which is public domain/CC-Zero and was taken by me), then the screen become black.

This is also happens in a new user. This is a long-standing problem in Mageia and annma from #kde said it doesn't happen to her on openSUSE (with KDE compiled from sources I believe).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Mageia Linux 2/Cauldron.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new user.
2. Start KDE from the virtual console.
3. sytemsettings -> "Workspace Behavior" -> "Virtual Desktops" -> tick "Different widgets  for each desktop" and apply.
4. Unlock the widgets. (right click on the panel and say "Unlock widgets").
5. Start Firefox in the URL http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/images/Self/shlomif-st-bernard.jpg .
6. Preferably follow http://cybernetnews.com/helpful-tip-disable-drag-drop-images-in-firefox/ .
7. Drag and drop the image to the desktop.
8. Select "Wallpaper -> Image".

Just checked and it also happens with Google Chromium.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,

I reproduced it too and got the black screen (without step 6., don't know why it would be needed)

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 7 Shlomi Fish 2013-11-23 17:39:09 CET

This still happens with Mageia Cauldron (what will become Mageia 4), only this time the bug has a somewhat different symptom: the first image I try to put on the background does nothing, no matter how many times I try to drag and drop and "Set as Wallpaper" it, but the second image I try to drag and drop causes a black screen again. So I'm going to reopen this bug.

One such image can be:
